Vietnam Travel - Look at Vietnam's information

Next to the old Cercle Sportif, which was an elite sporting club during the French-colonial period, the bench-lined walks of Cultural Park are shaded with avenues of enormous tropical trees.In the morning, you can often see people here practicing the art of thai cuc quyen, or slow-motion shadow boxing. Within the park is also a small-scaled model of Nha Trang’s most famous towers.

This place still has an active sports club that is possible to visit. It has 11 tennis courts, a passable swimming pool and a faded colonial feel about them. The tennis courts are available for hire at a reasonable fee and hourly tickets are on sale for use of the pool. The antique dressing rooms are quaint, but there are no lockers.There are also Roman-style baths and a coffee shop overlooking the colonnaded pool. Other facilities include a gymnasium, table tennis, weights, wrestling mats and ballroom-dancing classes.

  
Cultural Park is adjacent to Reunification Palace. There are entrances across from 115 Nguyen Du St and Nguyen Thi Minh Khai St.
